abstract
We construct the non-linear realisation of the semi-direct product of E11 and its vector representation in five and eleven dimensions and find the dynamical equations it predicts at low levels. Restricting these results to contain only the usual fields of supergravity and the generalised space-time to be the usual space-time we find the equations of motion of the five and eleven dimensional maximal supergravity theories. Since this non-linear realisation contains effects that are beyond the supergravity approximation and are thought to be present in an underlying theory we conclude that the low energy effective action of string and branes must possess an E11 symmetry.

Proposes enlarged worldline models with coadjoint orbit terms and generalized worldvolume theories for exotic branes that make E8 duality covariance manifest in a Hamiltonian formulation.
A Sugawara current algebra is constructed for rigid E11 with inert generalized coordinates, yet any natural ad-invariant bilinear form extending the E11 Cartan-Killing form is degenerate.
